Impact Manning was visited by Tigers manager A.J. Hinch and the trainer after delivering a pitch to Yainer Diaz. "It looked like he slipped on the pitch before," Hinch said. "His spike caught or whatever, but the back grabbed at him a little bit...He was uncomfortable." Manning threw a test pitch but winced, at which point he was removed from the contest. Hinch noted that Manning was celebrating with his teammates after Parker Meadows hit a walk-off homer, which the manager took as "a good sign." Manning was terrific Friday before departing, allowing just one unearned run on one hit over 6.1 frames.
